lyrics

You handed me a rope and a jar
I handed you a note in a bottle
We were not apart what we are now
I laid a hand on your heart
I felt the fire
You said it burned where I laid my hand
And since then we've never been apart
Lay me at your feet and when I die
I will be your apparition
A Valentine dream of our own delight
And we will never, we will never be apart
Cast out to follow some faint strain
while the wind whips us blind and
Four winds howl down from the treacherous skies
and we pray for an omen
Something that was promised still rings in our brains,
like the bells of the mission
We met the great owl's steely white gaze and refuse to look away and
an eagle watches us from a high place and we plead for a sign
I hold the rope
You hold the jar
We cast out to sea the note in a bottle
The dark night returns
All eyes emerge
We feel them watching
We feel them burn
And still we press on through the wind and the rain
for the promise we have heard
for the promise we have heard
chorus
And the bells ring out
Like a beacon of mercy
Nature is violent let love sustain us
Eyes wide open our hearts can't fail us
Ever reaching, ever seeking
Hands to the heavens, hands to the skies
Let Love Reign Down Upon Us
